Rachael's Family...

This Summer the kids did get to see both families...Here the kids are with Rachael's family!

Great Aunt Lisa came to visit and we hit up the Farmer's Market!

Great Grandma Coyle explaining to Keller and Claire how to maintain a car.

Keller putting on the CHEESE face!

Charlotte...being Charlotte!

Papaw Keith, Grandma Boggs and Keller...very entertained after a long day!

More Catching Up...

Now...it appears that I have more pictures of Charlotte than Keller. The reason being that Keller is 3 yrs old and right now he thinks that running away from the camera is his best bet!

What happens when you give a 1 yr old an ice cream cone?

Very serious about cooking...very!

Look mom! I CAN do it without out help!
(Don't worry, I was supervising!)

Working on talking...this one is "Hi"

And this is what I get when I say "Smile"

Update...Catching Up!

If you look at our past posts you will notice that I have done a very bad job of keeping up with this blog over the summer and fall. I have had a few hours here and there and have updated it! It looks a little cuter and we've added pictures! I hope to share with you a little more frequently .... I can have goals right!?!

*****

Charlotte Turned 1...In JULY!

We had a joint party with our friend Katherine from church who also turned 1!

Keller helped with the outdoor decor.

Charlotte enjoyed her snack too much to look at the camera.

I mean, she really enjoyed it!

And that's what it's all about! Summer!

You would think with the winter inside I would have had more time to post pictures. But when it is cold and well, cold ... there isn't much to take pictures of after awhile.

So for a change of pace, I present you with SUMMER!

Hi friends and family! Our first 6 or so months of being a family of four has been quite busy! We had no idea that adding a beautiful girl to our family along side an ever so energetic little boy would be so fun (and so tiring if you ask mom!). Here are some pictures from recently. Enjoy!
